2010 Paris Motor Show: You can’t have this

Fiat 500 TwinAir

Yes, we will get the Fiat 500 in Canada, but powered by a 1.4-litre four-cylinder that is neither big enough to be truly sporty, nor small enough to be an extreme gas-miser. But in Europe the 500 is available with a "revolutionairy" new twin-cylinder engine, just like the original 500. The 900-cc TwinAir produces 85 horsepower - more than enough to keep this light car up with traffic. Yet it emits as little as 92 g/km of CO2 - equivalent to 4.0 L/100 km - when mated to a robotized manual gearbox and start/stop system.Related Autos links:Paris 2010: Coolest conceptsParis 2010: Gorgeous girls
